Paris at a glance
Paris is a city of grand boulevards and tiny cafés, world-famous museums and quiet squares, and it is surprisingly walkable. The Seine runs through the middle, dividing the Right Bank (Rive Droite), with the Louvre, the Champs-Élysées and Montmartre, from the Left Bank (Rive Gauche), with Saint-Germain, the Latin Quarter and the Eiffel Tower. The city is divided into 20 numbered districts (arrondissements) spiralling out from the centre.
Arriving
From Charles de Gaulle airport, the RER B train runs to Gare du Nord, Châtelet and Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame in about 35–50 minutes. Taxis have fixed fares to the Right and Left Bank. From Orly airport, metro line 14 runs to the centre in about 25 minutes. Eurostar and many international trains arrive at Gare du Nord.
Getting around
The metro is fast and covers the whole city; there is always a station within a few minutes' walk. Buy tickets with the Navigo Easy card or in the official transport app on your phone. For longer stays, a weekly Navigo pass is good value. Walking along the Seine and through the old neighbourhoods is the best way to see the city. City bikes (Vélib') are available everywhere, and Paris now has many protected bike lanes.
